PROBLEM: No tabbies in Apo

The folks most helpful in finding the solution (at least the ones that I can remember now that I'm updating this screenshot pic about two weeks after this all happened! LOL! Sorry if you helped and I forgot to mention you!):

Ok... here's a screenshot of my Apo 2.08 3D Hack (the way it was with the problem) with the Editor window open. There's no tabbies at all here on my version, even though I saw other people had them including my friend *wolfepaw who tried in vain with me to figure out Apo's unspoken complaint. I figured, "We have the same darn version so why don't I have tabs too?"

You can also see where my first three variations were hidden under the preview part of the Editor screen. I could scroll up there to them but I couldn't ever **SEE** them. I just had to scroll all the way up (hold down the up arrow until I knew it had plenty of time to get to the top) and then count how many times I hit the down arrow key to know where I was. What's up with that?

Well.... thanks to a great little gal I met in #Aposhack the problem is now worked out! =FarDareisMai told me that since I was using Vista that it was most likely a problem with my dpi; and sure enough that's what it was! Vista has a default value of 96 dpi; but I wanted a bigger font for ever-growing-older eyes. So I changed it to 120 dpi a while back and apparently forgot that I had changed it. (I really didn't realize it would make a difference to Apo anyway!) However this confuses Apo and won't allow it to display all of it's information in the editor screen or in the post-rendering screen. (I could also have the post-render screen come up but the "Save" button wasn't showing for me to be able to make changes! arg!) So changing the dpi to 96 fixed all the above problems at the same time! COOL!!!! I love it when all my problems are fixed with one simple change!!! Too bad **all** of life isn't like that!

Later I also had *beeper52 tell me the same cure! I already had it fixed but I definitely appreciate him taking the time to help me! Thanks beeper!!!! You're a keeper!!

Edit: 09Jul01
I had originally uploaded this to let *wolfepaw see my problem up close and personal. I started to delete it when Beeper52 told me later that he had found it and tried to help. Instead I figured it might be a good source for someone who's having Apo problems like I had. So if this is your problem and you're using Vista then try changing the dpi. If you don't know how to do that then just go to your desktop and right click. Then choose "Personalize" and a screen will pop up. Choose "Adjust Font Size (dpi)" and then "Default - 96 dpi". Save your settings and you're good to go (as long as this was actually your problem to begin with)!!! If this doesn't fix your problem then I would suggest trying the forums or ask around in #Aposhack .

Hope this helps!!!
